Altruist
A scent drawn from a Berlin painter's canvas: bergamot and ginger up top, rose and orange blossom with a little spice, then warm cedar, vetiver and patchouli.
Perfumer: Veronique Nyberg
Altruist began as a painting. The Eau de Parfum grows out of a limited Art Edition from 2016, made with the Berlin artist Paul DeFlorian. The composition aims to carry his inspiration, the mood of the canvas and its colours into scent.
Bergamot and ginger lead, giving a clean, present-day brightness, with lemon essence and Aqual™ in the same opening tier. The heart pairs rose with orange blossom, while nutmeg and black pepper add a quiet spice.
Cedarwood, vetiver and patchouli settle the drydown into warm wood. The structure moves from citrus light through flowers and spice into something deeper. The brand links its citrus side to the memory of a summer day on the Italian coast.
